ACT! for America has a problem. Its first problem is that it was founded by Brigitte Gabriel. Yes, the same Brigitte Gabriel the New York Times called a “radical Islamophobe” and who in the past has made statements like “Arabs have no soul,” and “Arabs are barbarians.” She might be novel eye candy for some (which I’m guessing is the reason Bill Maher had her on his show) but it is clear that Brigitte Gabriel is a whacked out fundamentalist with a seething rage against Muslims and a determination on the one hand to destroy Islam and on the other to make as much profit in the process.
The other problem with ACT! is that it is an organization filled with the types of people we see at Tea Party rallies. You know the ones who dress up in late 18th century regalia a la George Washington or carry around posters about Obama being a Kenyan, or Hitler, or Joker or a Marxist Mooslim anti-Christ coming to change America from a Christian nation into the Soviet Union.

The ACT! for America scheme essentially boils down to an organization masquerading as a “defender of Western Civilization” akin to the claims of other Islamophobes such as Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller. They have a binary view of the world, the Bush mantra of “you’re either with us or against us.”
Brigitte Gabriel pretentiously declares on the ACT! site, “I founded this organization to give Americans their voice back…” Brigitte, Americans never lost their “voice,” unless the “voice” you want to give back is the Jim Crow voice that unleashed the dogs and water hoses on Southern blacks fighting for civil rights and against White racism because that is the historical parallel which fits into your rhetoric.
Those White racists were saying the same thing Brigitte is saying today, that we need to “defend Western civilization.” To the White racists of the South, Western civilization equaled White and Christian. Today Brigitte claims a bigger tent though it is bigoted just the same, to her Western Civilization equals Judeo-Christian and de facto excludes any Muslim.
ACT! is an organization shot through and through with Christian fundamentalists. That is why at many of their events one will see a Christian missionary preaching the Gospel while other ACT! custodians will be passing out anti-Islam literature.
In this video a representative for a Florida Chapter of ACT! for America spews his hate filled beliefs about Islam. He brags about using the Quran as toilet paper and urinating in Muslim ablution sinks (starts at 45 seconds):
****using your logic the democratic party has problems because it was the party of nazis sympathizers, black slave owners, global bankers, relevant today not to be a dem? no and yes. (nanine)**** Bill Maher the anti intellectual anti funny self loather? comedians & churches & imans being spokespeople for national parties that’s off the track of reason!!! tribalism and religion are lower evolved tiers of humanity. watch key & peele (ergan)

I attended three years of uni in New York after grade thirteen and found it excellent before returning but it was different.
Americans are quite enthralled with ideas of not your own making formed by American Party Politicians and Media or Internet search engines. It fails to surprise Canadians that attendance at a meeting with an open mind is considered un-American and to be thrashed about.
Americans do not listen well. Americans find it difficult to think for themselves. Americans rely on groups and media to form and impress opinions and thoughts for themselves and others. It is not intelligent to Canadians to argue an opinion or idea using an internet search engine. It is intelligent to attend a meeting after which ones may argue in favour or against using intellect and persuasion.
My father is Syrian and my maternal grand-mother from India and my first marriage was to a man from Trinidad. This is mentioned because Americans are intolerant of others with differing opinions without viewing ones colour or religion as if that is insight which it is not.
Americans would be considered intelligent to go and listen for thinking material to form an opinion for further thinking. Americans may also want to know that my father would die for Canada a thousand times before returning to Syria and my former husband the same before returning to his island. Neither practises false pride or clings to irrational dogmas or accepts ingratitude to a Canada that provided a land for their differences. My grand-father taught that each of us has the bloodlines of many nations even the indigenous peoples and to war against another is to be at war with and within ourselves.
FRom the southern poverty law center that tracks hate groups of all kinds.

This is truly ignorant/moronic/ hate a group conspiracy stuff, if people want to listen I can’t stop them. It’s a free country. But taking seriously the latest hate filled anti-sematic and racist or this case silly antimoslem rant and complaining that people who don’t aren’t open minded…. I don’t think many people will fall for that it’s ignorant and stupid.
BRIGITTE GABRIEL
ORGANIZATIONS Founder and head of ACT! for America and American Council for Truth.
CREDENTIALS Author of Because They Hate: A Survivor of Islamic Terror Warns America (2006) and They Must Be Stopped: Why We Must Defeat Radical Islam and How We Can Do It (2008). Co-producer and co-host of weekly ACT! for America television show.
SUMMARY Gabriel views Islam in absolute terms as a monolithic threat to the United States, Israel and the West. She is prone to sweeping generalizations and exaggerations as she describes a grand, sophisticated Muslim conspiracy bent on world domination. Of the people profiled here, she alone has focused on building a grassroots organization, claiming 155,000 members and 500 chapters around the country. Questions persist about the accuracy of her autobiographical account of being a victim of Muslim militancy in Lebanon.
IN HER OWN WORDS “America has been infiltrated on all levels by radicals who wish to harm America. They have infiltrated us at the C.I.A., at the F.B.I., at the Pentagon, at the State Department.”
— Quoted in The New York Times, March 7, 2011
“The difference, my friends, between Israel and the Arabic world is quite simply the difference between civilization and barbarism. It’s the difference between good and evil and this is what we’re witnessing in the Arab and Islamic world. I am angry. They have no soul! They are dead set on killing and destruction.”
— From a speech delivered to the Rev. John Hagee’s Christians United for Israel Convention, July 2007
“Tens of thousands of Islamic militants now reside in America, operating in sleeper cells, attending our colleges and universities, even infiltrating our government. They are here — today. Many have been here for years. Waiting. Preparing.”

SPL is ACT is SPL = Canadians smarter, game over
Please take the time to watch this video. It is about a pilot who was supposed to be on American Airlines Flight 11 the morning of 9/11. Flight 11 was the first Boeing 767 to fly into one of the buildings at the World Trade Center on 9/11. It really is one incredible story that is worth watching and it isn’t political or anti religious, it’s a human discussing his flight, the first plane to hit the towers.
